Is it because your parents/guardians forced you to?
P.S. This question isn't for the atheists.

Nope. I chose to believe on my own.
There is no solid concrete proof for evolution, abiogensis, or the big bang theory...
They're just scientific and taken as fact....

I was a preaching teaching Atheist, thinking of no greater thing than to educate the God beleivers
But I desperately hated the lies of this pitiful life and desperately sought and eventually prayed for the truth,
11 years later
I have found that the Faith is proven
but you guys will not buy it
It is not a theory,
Faith is the evidence of God, for I live what God instructs me.
Proof is every where if you seek for the truth, but it seems you are buying into theories.
chew the cud on this
Atoms are of an unusual structure, they do the opposite of what their purpose intends them to
Atoms hold together by no understood theory of science, they should scatter,
but God commanded the creation and it was so
Now how about the T-Rex bones that contained flesh and traces of blood cells, this was not a fossil
Or how about the fossil in Australia Kangaroo Island of a 50 year old horse skeleton
and oh yeah lets look to social sciences,
constantly wavering and telling society we need to adopt new laws and allow drugs alcohol.... and pedophiles to walk free.....
.....and completely throw out the Bible commandments and make their own commandments, and give God the shove by openly declaring the Bible is Archaic, even tho they never live it's principles, BUT the Establishment of all Western Societies Governments was a commandment of God to run a structured society in Honour and Praise to God and the family.
Kindly stop listening to the Media dribble,
Study things out for yourself, find the truth behind all Theories, you will find them wavering unstable and in the case of evolutionary sciences False

Believe can't be forced if you do not want to believe don't believe. Do you believe in darkness? can you touch it feel it or smell it? no but you believe in it. Darkness is just the absence of light. I could give you many examples but it would just prolonge just read this small storie maybe it will help you understand things better.
One day a man came to Prophet Muhammad's great grandson whose name was Imam Jaffer As - Sadique, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them and the following discussion took place.
Man: Can Allah be seen?
Imam: No.
Man: Can I taste Allah?
Imam: No.
Man: Can I smell Allah?
Imam: No.
Man: Can I feel Allah?
Imam: No.
Man: Can I hear Allah?
Imam: No.
Man: Then this means that there is nothing like Allah because none of these five senses are applicable to him.
Imam: No. There is something within you through which you can recognise your Creator.
Man: Then please tell me what is it. How is it possible that I don't know about it?
Imam: Do you see dreams?
Man: Yes, many times.
Imam: Have you ever seen yourself in a strange place in your dream, eating, drinking talking to people?
Man: Yes. Many times.
Imam: Have you enjoyed delicious food and drinks in your dream?
Man: Yes, many times.
Imam: Have your dreams come true?
Man: Yes, sometimes
Imam: Do you have nightmares?
Man: Yes, at times.
Imam: Now then, tell me which sense is it through which you are enjoying your foods and drinks, conversation with the people and feeling scared in your dreams? You are in your bed, so what is it through which all things are happening?
The man replied: But after all these are all dreams and therefore they have nothing to do with the reality.
Imam: Fine. Tell me do you have wet dreams?
Man: Yes.
Imam: What do you see in your dreams?
Man: I see myself making love with a beautiful woman. And... then I ejaculate.
Imam: Now tell me something. If according to what you say a dream is a dream and has nothing to do with the reality, then why is the effect of your dream reflected on your body? This proves that there is one sense apart from the five senses, which plays an important role within you. And that is your MIND. It is through this mind that you need to recognise your Creator.
I am sure you have got the message behind this story, which is to prove the existence of God in a very logical way.

I have personally seen miracles following prayer. The Bible makes so many predictions about the world which have come to pass, I can't help but believe it's true.
If you repent and are baptized in Jesus name and receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking with other tongues - You will know too. However, in order to do so, you must first believe.
You can't see the wind so how do you know it exists? Because you feel it right? Same thing

My parents did not force Christ on me. So therefore, where does my faith come from? here's your proof of God...
Creation without an intellegent creator makes about as much cense as air without Oxygen. You cant see Oxygen, But could not survive without it. There is proof Oxygen exists.
So why doesn't God Show himself to us?
Love is by choice, Would you force your kids to love you, or give them the chance to love you on their own?
God is real, and is true love. Faith in Christ is how we love him back. As you grow in faith, God's proof becomes more evident.

There is so much proof for the existence of God that most people cannot comprehend. It is like not seeing the tree because of the forrest.

People believe in a god due to fear. Fear of going to a hell, fear of not going to a heaven, fear of how they would run their lives w/o a belief in a god. Those that say they "feel" him need medication. The only thing they feel is the same thing you felt when you believed in Santa Claus...hope.

The concept of God exists in my mind, and that's good enough for me. Plus, I have come to the profound realization that the point of the universe is so that I may exist. It exists for no other purpose.
